Media Hell

There must be weeping and gnashing of teeth today at ABC, after this interview last night following Bush's speech (h/t: at Newsbusters.org):

Dean Reynolds (reporter): "Did you harbor any anger toward the president because of the slow federal response?"

Connie London (evacuee, in Houston): "No, none whatsoever, because I feel like our city and our state government should have been there before the federal government was called in. They should have been on their jobs."

Reynolds: "And they weren't?"

London: "No.  No, no, no, lord they wasn't.  I mean, they had RTA buses, Greyhound buses, school buses, that was just sitting there going under water when they could have been evacuating people."

(Transcript is my own.)

Really, watch that video.  That is one very serious woman, and she was only one of five.  Reynolds was shocked.
